Babolat Aero Storm GT

The Aero Storm GT is an update of the Babolat Aero Storm and weapon of choice for WTA Superstar Dinara Safina. Like its predecessor the Aero Storm, the Aero Storm GT is also control-oriented, allowing players to generate plenty of spin from the baseline. At the net, the mobility of the racquet allows players to move easily around the court to reach wide volleys and a range of shots.

In contrast to the AeroPro line, the Aero Storm GT sports a thinner beam to orient additional control for solid players. The addition of GT technology utilizing braided carbon and tungsten fibers provides players with even more precision, power, and feel over the prior model. Cortex dampening and Woofer shock dissipation is still among the priorities of the newer frame to ensure the continual smooth feel from its line. The Aero Storm GT is a great option for a 4.0+ player looking for a frame to provide them with pinpoint accuracy and comfort.

Personal Experience

Like it’s heavier brother, the Aero Storm GT is a control player’s delight with an arm and shoulder friendly swing weight (324). It’s virtually identical to the Babolat Aero Storm Tour GT in every specification, just a hair lighter.

That low weight makes the Babolat Aero Storm GT a great frame for the aggressive baseliner looking to bash or those looking for a serving frame that won’t have you running for the ice pack after a long match. Feel players or Fabrice Santoro-wannabees will really like this one, too. Groundies oozed with precision and spin was customarily solid, as we’ve come to expect from Babolat’s spin-generating frames. Topspin climbed to at least shoulder height with a good swing, and slices hugged the ground at knee-scraping heights. Balls won’t explode into total fuzz leftovers for non-power players with this frame. But those not needing help in the power department would sure benefit from the premium control features of this racquet, which employs the GT (Graphite/Tungsten) braided technology. The Aero Storm GT racquet has a bit more dampened feel than the Tour GT. And like its brother, the Aero Storm really shines in the mobility department.

Those half volleys or quick on-the-rise pick-ups that tend to be so problematic with those heavier sticks? They were a snap with this frame. Recommended for 4.0 and up players with medium to fast swingspeeds.

Great Racket

Today was my first day getting to use this racket. Every shot was clean and felt solid. The grip that comes with the racket isn't ideal for me, because it feels pasty, but adding an overgrip solves this tiny problem. This racket fits my game well, and the extra weight compared to most rackets I've handled makes me feel like it gives the ball more power. Definitely try this racket out.
